Transforming Consciousness and Our Wellbeing Through Sound, Music and Movement
Through many experiential activities rooted in music and movement we will explore the science of sound and how certain frequencies are able to affect the listener’s mood and inner imaginal realm. Yuval will share about his work in creating 40 Hz music, and brain entrainment music — the process of synchronizing brain waves to a specific rhythm — which has been shown to help listeners deepen relaxation, improve quality of sleep, increase cognitive function, focus, memory and concentration, and enhance general well-being. We will experience the difference between Binaural Beats and Isochronic Beats, hear about Yuval’s work with researcher, Robert Monroe, and the Hemisync Sound method, 40hz science, and other healing sound methods that impact the structure and function of the brain in ways that enhance memory, cognition, and awareness. Such sound practices have been shown to promote healing by lowering stress, anxiety, depression, and anger.
Get the sound tools for improving memory, sleep, inner peace, creativity, concentration and well being.
